Hmm. "Slideshow". Bad word. Memories of serried ranks of bored rellies
assembled for tales of Henry and Agatha's tour of Florence. Tittering
at David. No thanks.
Do a semantic gear change. Think of the projector as just an aid to viewing.
I have one sitting here set up all the time. Just load the magazine and look.
Like tonight's new slides -- woodchopping championship from the Royal
Agricultural Show. And orchids. Twenty minutes start to finish. Screen
is the back of a picture frame painted white -- so it's not there most of the
time. A bit small at 85cm across but better than a monitor or wimpy print.
See slides as they were meant to be seen, not chopped up into millions of
tiny fragments first :)
But did do one slideshow earlier this year. Edited slides of Tasmania
holiday, family with three kids, they loved it. Even turned the telly off.

Could handle that. We're getting a projector like that at work soon ...
